THE NAME:  Joint efforts have been made and decided to name the company Goethals Consulting Corp, in remembrance of that extraordinary civil engineer that was George Washington Goethals, perhaps the first person who acted as a consultant in Panamanian land, and fundamental motor behind the construction of the Panama Canal in which we saw knowledge and tenacity, essential elements that can be applied to the consultancy services this company provides our clients

PHILOSOPHY: Perhaps one of the most alluded subjects through time is the one of freedom, but peculiarly nowadays it continues being an elusive reality that many people does not know its true meaning and reaches, this is why its essence has been lost. An important characteristic of our executive founders is the determined love for liberal principles, reason our company’s philosophy will always be oriented within this vision.

OUR VISION: “Adding value in a dynamic medium” our main motto is used as principle inside our company and also in our client relationships; in a globalize environment, enterprises who have enduring success are those who possess fundamental values and purposes, who remain unchanged in time while the their business strategies and practices are always adapting to a ever changing world.

Corporations can take into consideration the differences between procedures that should never change and which should not be open to change, consideration between what is sacred and what is not. This rare ability to handle both continuity and change requires a constant discipline and is closely related to the ability of developing an ideology.

Fundamental ideologies define the enduring character of an organization, for this reason we become leaders of change, or wave riders (as surfers familiar with Panamanian waves), that include a profound respect for the individual, a dedication to low cost quality and reliability, a compromise for communitarian responsibility and the idea that the company exists to make technical contributions for the advance and wellbeing of humanity. Leaders die, products become obsolete, new technologies arrive and management fashions come and go but the fundamental ideology of a great organization stays as a source of inspiration.

A fundamental ideology is the link between organizations as it grows, decentralizes, diversifies, expands globally and allows cultural diversity in the workplace. Goethals Consulting, a Panamanian company with global vision, supporting private businesses in the execution of these processes, which translates into more value for the company and more revenue for the shareholders. In the public sector, the implementation of these processes translates into more and better quality of life for its citizens.
